Congress-Muslim-Left alliance is the most despicable alliance in India with cockroaches trained by Kejriwal lending street anarchist support. With UP poll coming up this is the cabal’s last lunge.

Media activism makes for excitement in the watering holes of Press Clubs. It is unlikely that frenzy will lead to the fall of a settled government. Last night’s contrived anticipation was proof of that.

The number of journalists who've jumped on this mischievous misinformation bandwagon is telling. Some carry the "respectable" tag
Read ECI’s 8-point rebuttal of @IndianExpress report & decide for yourself whether IE is a newspaper or an opposition foghorn ndtv.com/india-news/differin…

Morning: insinuate “ECI compromised” Afternoon: innuendo “conspiracy” Evening: climb down to “think twice”
Even if the ECI does nothing beyond dismissing the 14 objections as “routine disagreements”, I’d like to believe that today’s story will, at the very least, make the CEC think twice before acting without the consent of his colleagues for the rest of his term. Congratulations to @RitikaChopra__ , Chief Editor @rajkamaljha and his team, all of whom I am blessed to call colleagues.
